A/N: Sup. Chapter 3. if you couldn't tell the 'Big Guy' was implying God in the last chapter. Since they're in Heaven and stuff. That was like a kind of nickname for him.
Honestly, I have no idea what to write in this chapter. Derp, guess I'll figure it out. Please please please Review! Reviews would be really helpful to me and would keep me motivated so PLEASE review.
*Sonic's P.O.V*
I stared at the bowl for a very long time. Or at least it felt like that. Angie was still going to talk to the Big Guy, but was taking so long. 'I wish I knew what was going on,' I thought. Then an idea popped into my head. I looked right into the bowl and spoke clearly, "The Other Side, Angie the Guardian Angel"
The water shimmered once more and on it appeared Angie standing in a room with a large figure. The figure was slightly hard to make out because of the light that shone off of it. It had a halo over its head, wore bright white robes, and looked generally radiant.
"Please, I ask that you give him a second chance. It isn't right for anyone to pass on so soon. He wants to be able to help his friends and I don't know if they will be able to stop the Doctor without him," Angie pleaded to the figure. "I am afraid I cannot do that. No one gets second chances, it's just life. I apologize, but it is highly unorthodox," the figure said in a male voice. "Well, maybe he could at least go down there to help his friends complete their mission and then he could come right back. I know you're aware of the mass destruction the Doctor can cause with that weapon. It could destroy a planet if used that way! Please?" Angie said worriedly. I was surprised that she was so set on helping me. She didn't seem so for it earlier. But I guess I should be grateful.
"Angie, it is very hard to reconnect a body with a spirit once the two are separated. It will be difficult to do this," the figure, whom at this point I guessed was God, said.
"I know, but still, his friends need his help. Can't he just help them and then come back? That really wouldn't be too hard, would it?" Angie said in rebuttal.
God thought for a moment and then said, "I suppose he could. But he can only go, help, and come back. Alright?" Angie nodded happily. "Thank you! I will go tell him now. I'm sure he'll be very pleased!" she said. She bowed to him, turned, and walked out of view. The image faded and the water turned back to normal.
I sat back taking in what I just heard. I can go help my friends, but I can't stay. Somehow, that almost seemed worse to me. Giving me a little taste of having my life back only to take it away. That just seemed wrong. I know I should be thankful, but I wanted my old life back, not this.
I sat for about five minutes thinking about this (a part of me was wondering if Angie could hear it all) until Angie walked in. "Sonic, great news!" Angie said excitedly. I looked at her with a gloomy expression on my face. "I already know," I said simply. She looked confused. "How do you already-?" She cut herself off and looked at the bowl and then back to me, "You were eaves dropping?" I shrugged. "Well, I was curious," I stated. Angie looked pretty annoyed at me and said," Curiosity killed the cat, you know." I stood, "I'm a hedgehog, not a cat," I gestured to myself. Angie rolled her eyes. "Same difference. Anyway, so you already know the news, but isn't it great? You get to help your friends like you wanted to!" She said. "Uh, yeah, I guess," I replied. Angie put her hands on her hips, "Alright, spill it, Sonic. I know when you're lying." I sighed and looked at the ground. "It's just that I was hoping to get my life back completely," I state, "But I guess there's nothing I can do about it at this point. I get a chance to go live for a short time so might as well enjoy it." Angie smiled. "That's the spirit, Sonic!" I gave a small smile in return.
*At the ARK*
Knuckles ran through a few more halls until he found the viewing room of the ARK. He went up to the sliding door and walked in. Inside Amy was sitting on the floor looking deeply troubled and Tails was in his mech suit next to Eggman, who was lying on the floor. Tails looked over and saw Knuckles. "Oh, hey Knuckles, did you get the M.E. back?" Tails asked. "Yup, got it all in one piece again," Knuckles replied. He looked around from Amy to Tails to Eggman on the ground. "Uh, what happened? And where's Sonic?" Knuckles asked. Amy burst into tears suddenly and took Knuckles by surprise. "What?! What did I say?" He questioned. Tails looked at the ground and bowed his head slightly. "Sonic is... gone," Tails stated solemnly. Amy wailed even more at this. Knuckles' eyes widened but then he looked at the ground also. "Oh," he said.
When they weren't looking Eggman took the real Chaos Emerald that was on the floor near him. He snapped his fingers and his Egg Mobile floated to him out of a compartment in the ceiling. "Thanks for the emerald, Tails!" He said mockingly and flew out of the room. "No! He got the last emerald!" Tails exclaimed. "What should we do?" Knuckles asked, "Do we have a plan?" Tails thought for a moment and said "The original plan was to use the fake emerald, but that was with Sonic..." Knuckles raised an eyebrow. "And where was Sonic? What happened?" He asked. Tails had a lump forming in his throat. "Eggman trapped him and shot him out in a capsule into space," Tails looked over to the large window, "But the capsule exploded, Sonic and the emerald along with it." Knuckles placed his gloved hand on his chin in thought. "Do you have any other fakes?" he asked. Tails shook his head. "Do we have anything to destroy the cannon with?" Knuckles asked urgently. Tails' eyes lit up as if he got an idea. He bent over and rummaged around in a compartment of his mecha and pulled out a rectangular object.
"Eggman accidentally dropped this out of his Egg Walker. It's a bomb," Tails handed the object to Knuckles who examined it. It had buttons on the top and the screen read '00:00:00'. It also had Eggman's insignia on it. "Ok so where should we place this?" Knuckles asked. "Hmm give me a sec," Tails stated. He started pressing buttons and looking at the screen on his mech suit until it looked like he found something, "Ah ha! Here it is! Ok, the Eclipse Cannon has a weak point near the engine room that I destroyed. If we put the bomb there it will stop the cannon completely! Knuckles, do you think you can take care of that? I'm going to try to stop Eggman from putting in the last emerald," Tails stated. Knuckles nodded. "Sounds like a plan. Let's do it!" Knuckles said.
Tails and Knuckles made their way out the door to complete the mission, leaving Amy alone in the viewing room. She looked up from her weeping and saw that they were gone. "Ugh, I hate it when they leave me behind!" she complained.
A/N: Yay. Glad that's over with. This probably won't end up being more than ten chappies unless I get some really awesome idea out of nowhere. I keep having to look up info for this cuz it's been a while since I've played SA2 story mode... so yeah. Anyway, Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, dance, eat a sandwich, chase a llama, do whatever. Until next time.Ciao (Or should I say chao. Heh)
